Very VERY sore bump lower back - General Health Message Board

Okay so in about 2 or 3 days I developed this bump on the very top of my butt crack/lower back...It is very very very sore right now...If I sit down I have to lean forward (almost to the point of my face touching my knee for it to even be bearable to sit down) I can't lay on my back, if I do lay on my back and turn over it is very painful for about 10 seconds.....The only time i'm semi-comfortable is when I'm standing up (which is still sore) or laying on my side.....I put some hemoroid (spelling?) cream on it thinking that maybe it's just a fluid build up and that it will go away....Today is def. the worse day (soreness wise)....Like I said, it was there about 2 days ago.....I did go running yesterday and I think that that irritated it.....Just wondering what this is and praying I don't have to go a doctor and that it will go away within the next couple of days....Thanks

edit: when I touch the bump it is very itchy/sore

I think I would go to the doc. I dont want to scare you but you could have a fissure or something of that nature. LMG

oh, well I just looked up a fissure...and it siad that it's (in my own small words) an anal tear...but it's no where near the uhh, anus.....it's more in the area of my very lower back, into my, uhhh crack? lol, i feel stupid saying crack, but I don't know what else to call it...thanks though

anybody else have any ideas?

Is this by your tailbone? Could be a Pilonidal cyst.

if you look at that picture, where it's absolutely horrible in hurting is where the Pelodial Dimple is....it's 4:26am right now and this is just unbearable pain...I'm not comfortable standing sitting or laying down....where this bump is is exactly where the Pelodial Dimple is
